2 recipients will receive $1,060,000.
This is a first-time earmark.

Year Enacted: 2005

Description: This effort includes the design, fabrication and delivery of an Instrumented Long Range Test Projectile (ILRTP). The ILRTP consists of the Non -Instrumented Pusher Assembly (NIPA), an instrumented projectile and a sabot.
